I wanted something like this too and what I did was add some methods
to BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker like so:
class BackgrounDRb::MetaWorker
def handle_exceptions
result = nil
if block_given?
begin
result = yield
rescue Exception => e
log_error(e)
end
end
result
end
def log_error(error)
case error
when Exception
class_name = self.class.name
logger.info("Had exception #{error.class} in #{class_name},
sending email.")
NotifyMailer.deliver_error_notification(error, class_name)
else
logger.info(error.to_s)
end
end
end
I put the above in a file in lib. I require it in my workers and then
call handle_exceptions with a block inside my worker methods. This
definitely works, though I don't know if it is the ideal way to do it.
For one thing it won't catch errors at the level of BackgrounDRb
itself. But at least for worker errors it is fine. Also as you can see
I defined my own error mailer that is very similar to the one from the
ExceptionNotifier plug-in.
It might be nice for BackgrounDRb to support something like this
itself. Maybe one of us could put together a patch.
Also I use the above with the last released version of BackgrounDRb, I
haven't yet upgraded. Though it will probably also work with the new
version.
